About KR Quants

KR Quants exists to bring institutional-grade research rigour to every client — combining structured quantitative frameworks with a Chartered Accountant's discipline and complete regulatory alignment under the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014.

— CA Kalpesh Rathi, Founder
Core Capabilities
Three pillars of a systematic research practice
Every research output is produced through a structured, repeatable process — designed to remove emotional bias and documented for full regulatory accountability.
Algorithmic Discipline
Rule-based research frameworks built on Python-driven mathematical models and distributed data infrastructure — so that views are generated by logic and evidence, not emotion or market noise.
Strict Risk Management
Every research view is framed with defined risk parameters — hard stop levels, option-Greek safeguards and capital-protection protocols — because managing risk comes before seeking reward.
Our Approach
A four-step, repeatable research process
Data-driven research, grounded in transparency and diligence — from hypothesis to continuous evaluation.
Quantify
Scan multi-year index distributions to identify well-defined directional and volatility structures worth researching further.
Stress-Test
Back-test each hypothesis with slippage models, transaction-cost models and platform drop-out variables before it ever informs research.
Systematise
Convert validated frameworks into pure logic-driven processes, eliminating emotional vulnerability during volatile market conditions.
Evaluate
Continuously monitor frameworks and adapt them to evolving market regimes and macro-volatility cycles.
Research Services
Research-backed insights, delivered with clarity and accountability
All services are rendered strictly as research services under the SEBI (Research Analysts) Regulations, 2014. KR Quants does not execute trades, handle client funds or securities, or offer portfolio management, broking or investment-banking services.

Systematic strategy design and research for index futures and options, built on statistically tested frameworks.
Technical–Fundamental Integration
